CWTC and Morton Collision Repair’s race team will be honoring Veterans in the CWTC parking lot on Wednesday, July 2nd and the public is invited.

Ryan Bunton, driver of the Morton Collision Repair #6R sporting its new patriotic paint scheme, will have his car on display at CWTC, Wednesday July 2nd from 11AM-1PM. U.S. Armed Forces Veterans employed by CWTC will be among the first to sign the sprint car while veterans throughout central Illinois are invited to add their names as well. Signing will begin at 11:30AM and the public is invited to stop by to meet Bunton and take pictures. The team is putting the spotlight on their winged sprint car for the Independence Day weekend race at Knoxville Raceway.

Ryan manages Morton Collision Repair and was the 2002 Jacksonville Speedway Rookie of the Year. He got into the sprints after a successful quarter midget career that saw him win the 1997 ALQMA Indoor Dirt Championship. He went on to win the National NMMA championship in 1999 before getting into the sprints. He first hit the road with the MASS series in 2008, finishing fourth in points. He followed that up with a runner-up finish the next year. Hitting the All Star series proved successful in 2009, finishing fourth in points. He has been running at Knoxville Raceway the past three seasons, and has a quick time to his credit. He finished fifth at the Front Row Challenge in Oskaloosa in 2012, and worked his way into the top ten in Knoxville 410 points last season.
